Gastronome is a Georgian premium grocery retail group established in 2019 by Giorgi Tenadze, headquartered in Tbilisi, Georgia. It specializes in the distribution and retail of high-quality food products, prominently serving the food, drinks, and specialty grocery market segments.

The company operates 6 to 7 branches across different districts of Tbilisi, alongside 4 restaurants and a concept store named Kitchen & Living located on Vazha-Pshavela Avenue.

Gastronome offers over 2,500 product references spanning categories such as fresh and chilled foods—including poultry, seafood, and meat—dairy products like cheese and milk, savory groceries such as nuts, dried fruits, and pasta, as well as an extensive range of drinks featuring wines, soft drinks, and other beverages. The portfolio notably includes premium steak and organic, vegan, and gluten-free products, reflecting contemporary consumer demands.

The company imports goods from countries including Japan, Spain, France, and Italy, featuring brands like De Cecco, Nicolas Feuillatte, Maina, and Seeberger. Gastronome has developed a quality control system employing innovative technologies to regulate temperature and product storage throughout their supply chain, ensuring the highest quality standards.

In 2021, Gastronome expanded its model by launching a Bistro with a Shop & Dine concept and the Argentinian Steakhouse by Gastronome, enhancing its foodservice offerings. The group's online presence is established via its official webshop, facilitating e-commerce operations within Georgia.

The company positions itself as a family business with a commitment to honesty, ethical standards, and customer-centric service. Its mission includes breaking market stereotypes by consistently evolving and offering a unique product portfolio backed by high-quality assurance to meet the expectations of discerning customers.

Financially, Gastronome's turnover is estimated to be below 1 million euros as of the latest available data around 2023. The staff size ranges between 200 and 499 employees in Georgia, reflecting a medium-sized operation within the country's retail sector.
